Bucher E35m ’ s variable dump stainless steel hopper rises to any challenge
Standing the test of time
Which came first , the street or the street sweeper ? OK , so there wouldn ’ t have been a need for sweepers without streets . But did you know mechanical street sweepers were on the cleaning scene before the automobile ? And after all this time , the same basic design is still used ; broom or mechanical street sweepers use a cylindrical main broom for flicking dirt and debris onto a conveyor , which lands in a hopper .
But , as Bucher Municipal has shown , that doesn ’ t mean there haven ’ t been improvements .
Mechanical Sweepers 101
Municipalities ’ public works departments often hire out sweeping contractors to take care of primary street maintenance sweeping duties .
Contractors taking care of road construction rely on street sweepers to tackle a wide variety of heavy material . The most common sweeper hopper contents include concrete millings , chunks of asphalt , broken pavement , mud , and a variety of construction debris . A musthave feature of mechanical sweepers is the ability to dump into on-ground dumpsters or dump trucks . www . callape . com [ 6 ] 1.800.210.5923
